Garden Progress- March 17, 2012

Unseasonably warm temperatures (30 degrees above norma)l for two weeks time is catapulting the garden through its spring flowering. I vascilate between doing my early gardening clean-up and being fearful that we will get hit by a snow storm that will have me wishing that i had left some protection for the plants.

Yesterday i did end up clearing away some debris and ended up with another by-product of a mild winter... a tick... gotta be ultra diligent about ticks this year.

First Snow- Garden View 10-29-11

I didn't have a chance to do my fall garden clean-up before the white stuff made an appearance. I managed to get the statuary that doesn't stay outdoors inside... but i just drained the rain barrel today. oh well.

I really need to get some plants that bloom in late August. Currently, the day lilies are in their final phase and the brown-eyed susans are in full bloom... but i have a lot of green spots that need some color. Any suggestions of August bloomers in a zone 5 garden?
